Episode 024: Exploring Baja
Exploring Baja
Exploring Baja is the epitome of motorcycle adventure for some. The history & remote nature of the journey. Amazing food and hospitality. Diverse terrain, surrounded by the sea on both sides–Baja has it all!
We were fortunate to have Keith back on for this episode of the podcast as he recounted a recent, magical ride, through Baja.
When Should you be Exploring Baja?Despite having the Pacific to the west and the Gulf of California to the east, there is a premium time to explore Baja. As you can imagine, fall through spring is optimal as the southern portion of the continent has a tendency to be dried and more dispersed.
Riding somewhere in Baja. When Bike Works Best in Baja?The one you own. As noted above, diverse landscapes, terrain, trails and roads are the norm on the peninsula. Keith opted to take his trusty Yamaha, WR 250 for this particular adventure. The Yamaha is great both on the dirt roads and technical trails. However, any bike appropriately outfitted for off-road motorcycle adventure will do.
Whichever machine you have or choose, make that it is properly prepared for the ride by following these tips.
